Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

Ha right now I just need advice.

I endorse the strike through message!

I don’t mind chipping in to help him deport him.

How about crowd funding a charter flight?

That would be a lot easier for me.

Thanks!!!

It'll all depend on which LSOA/MSOA/Ward of a borough is getting it.
What you probably want to do is map cases to LSOA and then visualise it over London, and then see whether the LSOAs border with other Borough LSOA.

I mean.

Who wants to try Putin’s vaccine? His daughter has already had it so it must be ok.

Reminds me of Ministers giving their kids burgers in the BSE times but x100

Will it be a Sputnik or an N-1?

Fun dice to roll.

anyone actually believe putin gave it to his daughter ?

Anyone actually believe Putin ever?

'Anyone' apart from Trump, natch?

Have you got this sorted?

Today’s question is whether I head to France tomorrow morning (or potentially try to get an earlier train tonight), in order to avoid any potential French tit for tat quarantine restrictions on those coming from the UK.

I need to call my insurance to find out if my cover is still valid also.

Pretty sure insurance is still ok if the travel status hasn’t changed. Our work insurance allows us to go as long as we aren’t on the “all but essential travel” list.

They just said on bbc that they have added France to that list, looks like you are the victim of them trying to get the A level shambles off the news.

French tit for tat is already in process.

Some details here:

I need to call them, as my understanding is that it might be ok if booked before the FCO advice changed, but that totally depends on your t’s and c’s.

What I’m most worried about is France matching our changes, and whether I could get over there today before they come into place.

That would be a bit of nose to spite face but I guess you can't discount it.

Fucks sake, I'm in France at the moment, had planned to come back on the 22nd.
Need to cut it short and try and return on Tuesday, so that we can serve the 14 day quarantine, and my 4 year old can do the nursery -> reception year handover stuff.

I completely understand the measures, just incredibly inconvenient.

I can't come back today, as I'm 10 hours drive away from Caen, with a toddler and a 5 month old....

It’s crazy how they are blanket banning a whole country, a family camping or similar and driving into the channel tunnel are so much safer than someone taking the tube to work in London.

the nursery -> reception year handover stuff.

We're sacking off our nursery - reception handover as being a bit of a waste of time, given that reception is nursery with a bit more structure, but less observation, in favour of time away from home with the family.

(Caveat - Obvisouly everyone's kids are different, and processes are different between nurseries and schools)

The kid wouldn’t have to quarantine, and frankly you could balance having the rest of you holiday against the (notional) £1,000 fine for breaching quarantine.

This is all about moving A-level results off the front page, not public health, so I’d frankly just concern myself with what the odds are of being subject to the fine for non-compliance. Could you say that taking your child to nursery was an eye-test? Or some other part of Cummings justification.

Yep, NHS sent a test.

Then found out new flight is canned.
Glad I hadn't opened it up yet.

Guess my next question is do these tests have an expiry date (does the magic fluid in the vial lose whatever blessing Matt Hancock incanted prior to decanting? Or is it just water idk?)?

It sure does feel inaccurate and the Netherlands breaks it down by area within a country, rather than a blanket quarantine.

Unfortunately the whole of the UK has now gone amber :(

I didn’t think that children were exempt?
Nursery will likely not accept her back given that they know we have been away, they are linked with the council, and will follow government guidance.

She is looked after a couple of days a week by grandparents who will be gutted not to be able to see her for 2 more weeks, we’ve been in France for 3.

The fine in itself doesn’t bother me as such, but I do subscribe to the probably need for quarantine, as the lack of social distancing shown where we have visited is pretty stark and rather uncomfortable.
